12 Years

Over the weekend my husband and I celebrated our twelve-year anniversary. John made me my favorite dessert, chocolate soufflé. It was so delicious, even better than usual. Perhaps it just tastes better when someone else does the work. Well, I loved it. And I love my sweet husband. He takes such good care of me!

Enjoy the recipe!

Chocolate Soufflé

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
10 Tbls butter
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
½ cup flour
3 whole eggs
3 egg yolks
*Optional: powdered sugar and raspberries to garnish

PREHEAT oven to 425 degrees. Grease ramekins or soufflé dishes and place on baking
sheet.

STIR together powdered sugar, flour, and eggs until well blended. Use a mixer for the
best consistency.

MICROWAVE chocolate and butter in large bowl until butter is melted. Stir until
chocolate is completely melted. Pour into the egg mixture and mix well. Divide batter
evenly into greased ramekins.

BAKE 15 minutes for 5 ounce ramekins. Bake 20 minutes for 8 ounce ramekins or
until cakes are firm around the edges but soft in the centers. Let stand 1 minute. Run
small knife around cakes to loosen. Immediately invert cakes onto serving plate. Sprinkle
lightly with additional powdered sugar and garnish with raspberries, if desired.

Makes 8 servings in the 5 oz. ramekins, or 4-5 servings in the 8 oz ramekins.

Variation: To make the soufflés a rich dark chocolate flavor, add ½ cup more chocolate
chips or substitute type of chocolate used.
